Description/
From the series: THE SHINING SHITAKE Stoneware sculptural sconce in perlatum matte glaze exterior & lava glaze detail & with a white gloss interior.
To Glow or not to Glow, that is the question.
The Shining Shiitake series examines the myriad of shapes and sizes and colours and species and lifestyles seen in the mushroom realm. It reveals the magical narrative between purpose and artwork. The works draw from the potent healing powers of the Shiitake and emanate their glow to nurture symbiotic relationships. The unique objects that grow from this experiment become functional sculptures that trigger an adventure into light and landscape. Always playful, colourful and perky these Luminaires bring morsels of the rich forest woodlands to uplift the quotidian.
Shining Shiitakes sprout to be admired as daylight shines its rays on the multitude of colours and textures they parade, and as the night falls, they display their amber glow and bathe their habitat in a glimmering lustre.
